Post by: Rick on November 30, 2002, 04:12:28 PM: Ok, I dont know what to get for christmas, the following are ideas. There hasn\'t been that much mentioned about any of them (except R&C) and I was just wondering what people thought of them:

Red Faction 2
R&C
LOTR: The Two Towers
Tiger Woods 2003

R&C platformer I have heard good things however not my type of game so can help you much there.

R&C .... It is a decent platform game. I did not find it all that incredible, but I am bit burned out on platform games.

LOTR: The Two Towers ...This is a GREAT movie to game. In fact this may be the only movie to game that I have ever liked.
Stormfront I think was the dev, and they spent time on this one. You purchase different combos some are geared toward certain races. It is a very nice game. Not up to the calibur of DMC, but few games are.

Tiger Woods 2003..... It\'s golf, and that sport is boring when you do it for real. So I have no desire to do it at home.

R&C - One of the best games this year. Everybody was bashing it 1 week away from launch and then it blew everybody away.. If you like 3D Platformers this is the game to get.

LOTR: The Two Towers - Have yet to play, but it seems excellent. Im gonna get this myself.

Tiger Woods 2003 - I only played the demo. Nice graphics, your typical golf game. Pretty fun actually (very good control.. You swing with the right analogstick now instead of controlling the swing with that gay hit-to-stop disc they used before). The two player mode was fun as hell (the two players race against each other to see which one gets to the "hole" first. I won 2-1 :D)

Ratchet & Clank then : it\'s a great game and all, but it just didn\'t captivate me like Jak & Jaxter did before it. Maybe it\'s the staccato gameplay (go to planet, do dis, go to another planet, do dat, lather, rinse, repeat) that turned me off, there wasn\'t this sense of a coherent world(/universe) to explore as in J&D. The controls are also a bit on the dodgy side, especially when it comes to some fierce battles. And all the weapons and gadgets don\'t feel as much an integral part of the game as I think they should, still there\'s some initial excitement to be found when getting new stuff.

Still, there\'s loads to do, pretty graphics, nice music (I loved some of the earlier tunes), it earns a healthy 7/10 from me. If you haven\'t played platformers in a while and feel like you could do with some jumpin\' & shootin\', you can\'t go wrong here :)

Post by: Rick on December 01, 2002, 03:24:12 PM: OK, thanx for that, think I\'ll leave RF2, wasnt that impressed by the first and I\'m still bashing away at TS2. I\'ve wanted a golf game for a while, so think I\'ll get Tiger. Gonna have to get R&C, think i\'ll give LOTR a rent first, but it looks good. cheers guys

Post by: Ace on December 02, 2002, 05:35:08 AM: Another vote for R&C. I think it\'s great. Lots of detail and it keeps me wanting to play more.

Seriously, at this point it time, it seems like the best thing to do.
